New for this year, the 7.5 lb Kokopelli Rogue PackRaft features an integrated spray deck. Built to exacting specifications, the Rogue's sidewalls are constructed from a 210 denier, double-coated nylon. While similar in size and dimensions to the Nirvana, the new Rogue features a thinner 210 denier hull material with beefed-up Kevlar reinforcement. The thinner denier material packs down smaller and weighs roughly 2 lbs less, making it more desirable for longer distances, while the Kevlar construction makes it nearly as durable as the Nirvana.

Eleven-inch diameter tubes ensure stability on the water as well as providing some protection from swells. Six integrated nylon d-rings serve as convenient gear-tie downs.

For 2018, the Kokopelli models have been redesigned with 30% more volume in the stern. This provides more buoyancy and a slightly lower waterline, eliminating water pooling issues. Also for 2018, a new bottom hull construction makes the packrafts more rigid. By repositioning where the hull bottom attaches to the side chambers, and including an inflatable seat base, the paddler sits a bit higher and doesn’t sag down in the boat. This in turn improves the backband support (it is now positioned lower on the back), as well as making it easier to paddle over the side chambers. Together, these improvements eliminated the need for an inflatable floor, saving on weight.

With the included inflation bag, the Kokopelli Rogue PackRaft can be ready for the water in less than five minutes.

The Rogue is perfect for flat-to-mild water environments (Class I and II) and can easily be backpacked to remote locations, taken on camping trips, tossed on a plane or stashed in an RV.

Also comes with a repair kit and two compression straps for easy storage.
